Who can play? 

Players in Pre-K through 9th grade, who live or attend school in Larkspur or Corte Madera.  9th graders  are eligible to play if they are not playing softball for a high school team.

Check out the MGS 2026 Division FAQ for more information. 

What is the time commitment?

• 6U: Saturday game plus a 60-minute midweek practice.

• 8U: Saturday game plus a 60-90 minute midweek practice. 

• 10U: Saturday games or midweek games;  usually two practices per week.

• 12U: Saturday games or midweek games; usually two practices per week.

• 15U: Weekday games; two practices per week (2 hours).

Are there tryouts?
No; everyone makes a team.  There are no "cuts".  However, there may be a skills evaluation session for 10u, 12u and 15u (if there are more than two teams) which will take place prior to team formation.  As a recreational league, we welcome all players and offer experienced coaching to help all improve their skills. The skills evaluation is to better assist the league in creating parity among the teams.

How are teams selected?

• 6U and 8U: Players are assigned where possible based on stated friend or coach preference, or at random if no preference is expressed. It is important to note we will try, but cannot guarantee, to honor at least one friend or coach preference.
• 10U: Selected through a draft process following skills assessment, with an eye toward ensuring all 10U teams have parity with pitchers and catchers. Friend requests can be made, but are not guaranteed. 
• 12U and 15U: If there is more than one team in these divisions, players are drafted following skills assessment, with an aim toward competitive balance.  

TCS encourages teams with a mix of schools and grades, on the basis that an important benefit of youth sports is making new friends as well as playing with old ones.

Where are games played?

Our home field is Piper Park in Larkspur. Away games are located only in Marin County. A list of the fields can be found HERE.

When is Softball Season?

Opening day is usually the 3rd Saturday in March.  Games continue in most age divisions through the middle of May, followed by playoffs for 10U, 12U and 15U.  

What is Travel Softball?
There are many opportunities for girls to participate in summer and fall competitive softball programs which are selected on a tryout basis. Please see the Tremors page on our website for more information on the MGS programs.

Can parents get involved with TCS?
YES PLEASE! As a 100% volunteer organization, we can use your help.  We are looking for new Board members, especially parents of younger players, and can always use volunteers for events and program maintenance.  You may indicate your interest on the registration form.

Can parents volunteer to be a Head Coach or an Assistant Coach?
YES! This is imperative for the success of our league. Teams cannot be formed if we do not have enough parent volunteers for coaching. Even if you cannot make the commitment to be a 'head coach', you can still help be part of a coaching team. Please indicate your availability/interest on the registration form OR  Send an e-mail to:   twincitiessoftball@gmail.com

Can I sponsor a team or the League?
YES! Sponsorships are a  key part of funding the league - buying equipment for the girls, maintaining Piper Park and the Batting Cage and helping to lower registration fees.  Should you wish to sponsor the league or a team, or get information on sponsorship, please contact us at twincitiessoftball@gmail.com.

Can I make a donation to the League?
YES, PLEASE!  We are a subsidiary of Marin Girls Softball, a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation should be tax deductible.  Please contact us if you would like to donate to TCS.
